Reported by Alex Rozenman. This warning shows up with gcc-4.3.0
and later.
* src/scan-code.l: Add "%option noinput", which I cannot find in
the Flex manual, but which Flex has supported since at least as
far back as 2.5.4. However, if any of our developers still use
Flex 2.5.4, they'll need to stop configuring with
--enable-gcc-warnings because "%option noinput" didn't work
correctly until Flex 2.5.6.
* src/scan-gram.l: Likewise.
* src/scan-skel.l: Likewise.
(cherry picked from commit 42f8609bbd)
* NEWS (2.5): Document.
* src/scan-gram.l (INITIAL): Remove comment that we don't check
the length.
(SC_ESCAPED_CHARACTER): Warn if length is wrong.
* tests/input.at (Bad character literals): New test group.
Suggested by Eric Blake at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2009-04/msg00083.html>.
* tests/existing.at (_AT_TEST_EXISTING_GRAMMAR): Do not
complicate the code by distinguishing between a missing value
and an empty string value for an optional argument. This fix is
allowed by the similar fix in AT_TEST_TABLES_AND_PARSE below.
* tests/local.at (_AT_TEST_TABLES_AND_PARSE): Merge into...
(AT_TEST_TABLES_AND_PARSE): ... this now that the special
arguments are not needed because of the following changes.
Fix stale comments.
Bison developers should use GNU M4 and should not use
POSIXLY_CORRECT when building the test suite, so do not
complicate the code by avoiding $10 and above.
Do not quote an empty string value for an optional argument, and
do not distinguish between a missing value and an empty string
value.
